At the park this morning for a walk and I heard a woman shouting her daughter, and she was calling her Anne. I thought that was so pretty, but then she shouted her son too, and she was shouting 'Anne, Hank!'

Great names, don't get me wrong, but I don't think they work together. While she was shouting 'Anne, Hank!' All that I could hear was 'AnneFrank!'

My school bus broke down last week and we had to take a different bus. I was looking at the seat placements and I saw a Delores. While it's NMS, I thought, Wow, her parents are so cool with names! Until I looked at her last name, which was double barreled. That in itself isn't bad, until you look at it and one surname ends with -ess and the other -ez. Delores Somethingess-Namez (obviously not her last name). A bit rhyme-y, IMO.

I also ran into a thirteen year old Isla when I was interviewing people for yearbook. She was surprised when I spelled her name right.

My Uncle and his wife had a new baby girl named River. I think it's nice, uncommon but not crazy. Her brothers are Conner, Fletcher, and Vander. People in my graduating class have started having kids too, I've come across Allen, Colby, Lilyana, and Leila.
My mom recently got a cockatiel and named him Chester :grin: not a person name but could you think of a better name for him?
